Human Activities
I am always impressed with the people on the Oregon Coast enjoying the outdoors no matter the weather. Everyone was just enjoying the wet, rainy, beach.
Beached Birds
Total dead birds: 3. I didn't see any leg bands, but I was a little shy to be poking at a dead bird. Hopefully, I will become more used to the idea. I am not sure of the species. I think cormorant on one?
Stranded Marine Mammals
Total stranded mammals: 1.
Driftline Content
Seaweeds and seagrass, Shells, Animal casings (e.g., crab, shrimp molt), Wood pieces, Land-based debris (picnics, etc.), Marine debris (plastic, styrofoam, etc. washing in from the sea), Ocean-based debris (from fishing boats, ship trash, etc.). Jellies
